Reviewer #1: Jason Scott-Smith, University of New Mexico, USA: "I strongly recommend this book for publication and would use the book in my courses. As I indicate in my previous comments and observations, it is well-designed and fills a niche in a way that no other current book does."
Reviewer #2: Margaret Rung, Roosevelt University, USA: "I recommend this book for publication and would certainly consider using it in one of my classes as I frequently teach on the Great Depression, New Deal and World War Two, covering all of the themes mentioned in the book proposal. For me, the strength of this WPA study is its comprehensive approach to the program as well as its contextualization of the program in the era's main debates (many of which continue to resonate in American society and politics). ... Thus, the book speaks not simply to the specific history of the WPA, but also to broader concerns."
